Bikini Kill

In this electrifying live performance from March 3, 1996, at Yale University, Bikini Kill showcases their iconic song 'Rebel Girl.' By this point in their career, the band had already issued their groundbreaking album 'Pussy Whipped' in 1993, which solidified their role in the riot grrrl movement—a feminist punk iconosphere. This concert captures the raw energy and defiance that Bikini Kill is famed for, further fueling the feminist punk ethos. The year following this performance, they released 'Reject All American,' which continued to challenge societal norms and empower youth. It's fascinating to note how 'Rebel Girl' became an anthem for many seeking liberation and solidarity, resonating deeply during a time when the band was at the forefront of feminist expression in music.
